The San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department is reminding residents that it is illegal to operate any Off-Highway Vehicle on public roadways and anywhere within city limits, including desert areas.

You can lawfully operate an off-highway vehicle on your own property, or on the property of another while in possession of written permission from that property owner, as long as you do not disturb the peace and quiet of any neighborhood or person by noise, dust, smoke or fumes.

In addition to riding on private property, there are a number of public riding areas located in San Bernardino County. Those areas include:

  • Dumont Dunes
  • El Mirage Dry Lake
  • Stoddard Valley
  • Rasor
  • Johnson Valley OHV Area
  • Eastern Mojave Desert
  • Park Moabi County Park
  • Parker Strip
